a personal backup

January 24, 2011

I have covered backing up your system as a quite important means to keep some sort of continuity in your life, if you were to lose the hardware you currently have (this means your computer, and all of the things you have filled it with…). It’s still a pretty smart thing to do, but I [...]

There are two prime tools I use to keep my personal network running, EverNote and DropBox. These two apps work on all of my devices, and are quite similar to each other in many ways, but are different in some important ways too…
